None has been talking about base 10 logs here. The fact that scaling a logarithm is equivalent to using a different base doesn’t mean changing the base mirrors the semantics of every occurrence of (factor&*&^.) Sometimes you just want to /scale this value up/. And the base you’d come up with that is equivalent to this wouldn’t have any meaning to the problem at hand.
Other than that: You’re right but I think HH wants to keep things simple, mirroring what he had in mind and can easily understand.
